February 10, 2009

Welcome back. The plan for today is to continue and expand on what we learned last week. You've made it this far; you're reading a wiki, and I hope you've had the opportunity to play with wikis a bit. Here's the agenda for today's class:

> Background article: http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA6277799.html > An example wiki: http://www.grandviewlibrary.org/ThirdGradeWikis.aspx > Read-Write-Think lesson (using Kanye West hip-hop song on Sierra Leone diamond trade): http://www.readwritethink.org/lessons/lesson_view.asp?id=979 > [|http://delicious.com] > [|http://twitter.com] > http://dennyatkinson.wordpress.com/ //and if there's still time...//which seems unlikely... > http://www.apple.com/itunes/ > http://learninginhand.com/podcasting/find.html > [|http://www.podcastalley.com]
 * **Review Wikis**: Can you edit pages on a wiki and can you create your own wiki? If not, we'll make sure you can before we proceed.
 * **RSS Feeds**: Hint--a My Yahoo Page is my favorite way of reading RSS feeds.
 * **Bookmarking vs. Social Networking**: What's that all about?
 * **Blogs & Microblogs**: Definition & Process
 * **Podcasting**: Definition & Finding Podcasts
